How it works

Three steps, no manual orbiting

STEP 1

Load your photo

Point ViewMatch at the original, unedited image straight from the camera or phone.

STEP 2

It reads the EXIF

Focal length, GPS, heading, tilt and capture time are decoded automatically.

STEP 3

Camera matched

Field of view, position and sun are set and a scene is saved. Fine‑tune with live dials.

Features

Everything you need to nail the shot

EXIF‑accurate

Field of view derived from the photo's true focal length — not eyeballed.

GPS placement

On a geolocated model, the camera drops onto the exact spot the photo was taken.

Matching shadows

Sets the model's date & time from the shot so sun and shadows line up.

🎚

Fine‑tune dials

Nudge position, aim and roll — with a live zoomed magnifier overlay.

🖼

Watermark overlay

Pin the photo over the view to align by eye, then save the scene.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The full plugin, with one complete view match for free. After that, matching is gated until you subscribe — everything else (re-opening, fine-tuning an already-matched view) keeps working.
SketchUp 2025 and 2026 on Windows. (Mac support is on the roadmap.)
Original, unedited images straight from a camera or phone. Cropping or re-exporting strips the focal-length, GPS and orientation tags ViewMatch relies on. Geotagged photos let it place the camera automatically on a geolocated model; without GPS you can still match the field of view and align manually.
Two machines per subscription. You can activate on a desktop and a laptop.
Yes — cancel from the link in your purchase receipt. Your license stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
Matching runs locally. Your license validates online occasionally and keeps working through short offline periods.
